Have you ever been on a solo trip?

To where and for how long?

I'm considering it but one obstacle for me is keeping my mood up. Like it makes me sad that I have no one to travel with, but then I'm sad that I haven't traveled, so I know I need to. I just don't think I'll be able to maintain happy energy for long...

Advice?

My advice/opinion is that you will learn how freeing it is to travel alone, once you're on the road! I've done many road trips by myself... I once drove over 40 hours alone, and had a great time, didn't wanna go back home! Just savor every moment! And do exactly what you want to do!! You have no one to hold you back... I could give more specific advice if I knew your destination, but I understand if that's too much info to share here. All I can say is do not be afraid... Be aware, especially alone at night/don't get drunk and forget where you are... Don't follow anyone home... Enjoy every moment of freedom, try to live mindfully while you're travelling, make some friends, try some new things you never thought you'd try. And if you just feeling like chilling out in your nice hotel, that's fine, too. You're free to do what you want!

@lovelywarpedlemon Thank you for that And wow, 40 hours driving alone? I'm sure you stopped along the way but I don't even like driving far around my city. I hate it, I hate the roads and stuff. So easy to have an accident if you don't know the roads here.

I just thought about that too. Being someone far away and/or the change of scenery might force an elevated mood
@iamnikki You will be in a different place. :) With plenty to explore. You've set aside time to live in the moment :) Enjoy!
